Gardeners and other residents are invited to attend a free crime prevention event in Sevenoaks this weekend.

PCSO Simon Humphreys and PCSO Steve Vincent will be at the Currant Hill allotments, off Rysted Lane in Westerham on Saturday.

Those who attend will be able to property-mark their gardening equipment and other valuable items, and will also receive important advice on how to protect themselves from crime.

PCSO Humphreys said: "Garden sheds, allotments and garages packed with tools, machinery and other valuable equipment offer easy pickings to thieves.

"We’ll be here to help you take the right precautions to help reduce the risk of having your property stolen, and getting it traced and returned to you if it is."

This autumn Kent Police, Surrey, Sussex and Thames Valley Police are working together in a joint burglary awareness campaign entitled ‘Burglars mess with your head, not just your home’.

You can join the campaign on Twitter and Facebook by following #LightLockList or visit the burglary section of the Kent Police website to find out how to protect your home.

The marking event will run from 2pm to 4pm.
